Yes, glad your people are safely out, ND. That's scary.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Because I need to take my own advice:
Work is done, computer packed up and by door for tomorrow
Some dishes washed (wash rest before bed)
Dog beds in wash and spare out for Bailey
Now: 20 minutes on couch listening to nature sounds per therapist request
Next: laundry in pile up to bedroom and put away
Dinner for everyone - good time to do those dishes
Move dog beds to dryer
Get items I need to mail, address and out with computer for tomorrow.
Knit & listen to audiobook til 9

Man the problem with keeping lists like that is that with the size of modern organizations there are SO MANY people who deserve a good Facelessing.

I've read in a couple of places that the language of the DEI notices/emails sent out by government agencies were from a template given to them, and no one was allowed to alter or edit them.

Which doesn't excuse things AT ALL, but does sound like the agencies weren't given any leeway.

Ah, Atropa, that makes sense. I mean the kind of sense that is horrible, but that's where we are now.

Yeah it was clearly a template they had to use. It's still gross and unprofessional and insulting to the staff.
I was supposed to take civil rights training within the next few months; I wonder if it will be cancelled?
